Yes that's fun, so I'll give it a prod to ge tthe ball rolling... how about
comments on my translation just to get us warmed up to something serious
like Goldilocks?

I should warn you that I'm deafened and still vry much learning BSL so you
can probably make mincemeat of my grammer, but I would welcome it as a
learning experience  :D

The attachment could be glossed sign-by-sign as:

one we monarch become-future. sit where? chair gold.
hat? no, crown, diamond lots hers self.
dress gold, green, beautiful. regularly think,
wear she feather wonder? really-believe she should!
